. the consumer is in a worse spot primarily because of tax hikes. supply side economics, right. so apple is a consumer company for the most part and i think that any consumer company will struggle. >> that's an important point. let's follow that point. is part of this apple drop weakness in consumer spending or expected weakness, or is it, in fact, the competition from samsung and the fact that the company is not executing. in other words is it a company story, an economics story, what is it? >> there's a lot of company specific stuff going on just comparables this quarter versus a year ago. that's part of it. it's a maturing company to a degree. it's going through its growth phase. now getting into the phase which hopefully will last a long time you focus on return on invested capital. that could be fine. the market has to adjust to that perception. i think the consumer point is a good one. is the consumer going retrench with higher taxes and we see the jobless claims out the last few weeks -- >> coming down. >> they are looking great. >> is it seasonal or real. we won't know that for a

the payroll tax cut will cut into consumer discretionary spending down the line. apples ipads and iphones sold a lot but the profit margin was slim. is this a company story where the company is in trouble after the great steve jobs has passed snarp. >> it feels that way, larry. we've got this darling-to-dog story we've seen so often notice tech space. we have a gadget company in the tech space that's struggling with margins on its gadgets and a lot of the worst fears that they would face other gadgets from other kinds of companies seem to be coming to pass, but the service tech companies like google and netflix, they're all of a sudden out there increasing share. >> knock the cover off the ball. >> knock the cover on. and as long as you have a razor blade story and not a razor story, i think that's the difference peer. >> dave goldman, am i wrong? sometimes ji am very wrong. does this forecast a stronger american economy, even a moderately stronger economy? >> absolutely not. i was a raging bull in 2012. i'm neutral on it. the s&p is trading tick for tick with liquidity measures, such as infla

, saving money on your taxes and boosting your retirement security. here's finra's gerri walsh. >> with washington roiling from one crisis to another, many americans feel uncertain about the impact of changing tax rates and how to achieve retirement security in a fragile economy. but, especially at times like this, workers should focus on what they can control. no matter your tax rate, contributing to a 401(k) can help you save money on taxes and boost your retirement security. your contributions to a traditional plan are not included in your taxable income, and earnings on roth contributions are tax-free. the good news for savers is that in 2013 401(k) limits go up to $17,500, and employees aged 50 or over can contribute an additional $5,500. but, at the end of 2011, the average account balance in 401(k)s nationwide was just under $60,000. if you're not sure you're doing all you can to lower your taxable wages and secure your retirement, finras new 401(k) save the max calculator can help you do the math to find out. i'm gerri walsh. >> tom: join us tomorrow on twitter for a tw

a little smaller since the first of the year. --the result of the payroll tax holiday expiring as part of the fiscal cliff deal. our cover story looks into whether its slowing the economic recovery. not counting a raise or bonus---most of us have a little less take-home pay, not more. january first, the payroll tax went back to 6.2%. "everyone forgot that it was a holiday. a lot of people thought this was the new status quo." it wasn't. and consumers are pretty direct about it. "it adds up to $900 a year. is that significant? yes." "no one likes being taxes. but you don't have a choice." now, if you make 50,000 a year..you'll pay roughly a thousand dollars more in payroll taxes for the year. every two weeks your take-home pay--roughly 36-dollars less. retailers expect it to affect consumer spending. "the likelihood is that it will. we've seen them cutback during the holidays and we expect this 'austerity' to be here for awhile until they get their 'sea-legs' under this program" but getting those sea-legs may take months. "i'm not happy about it. so has it affected your spending? yes, i

words. a decision by government to limit green house gas emissions by heavily taxing or tapping the use of carbon based fuels. is that a fair estimation? that issue, because of what it could do to oil -- is what really kind of had them shaking in their boots. >> guest: it was a combination how a rare -- they had overcome the previous systemic threats to oil production in the world, which were spills and environmental damage and the seepage of oil into water and drinking supplies and air pollution, all of that had been more or less brought into a sustainable compact of regulator and regulated, and they had been themselves adopted -- they accepted the validity of these environmental goals when it comes to spills and air pollution and so target. that they had imposed costs on. thes in order to build the sustainable compacts so just at the moment when they have cruising speed on the other environmental issues that arose in the first three or four decades of the order world, now comes this an distract globalham challenge to the prime si of fossil fuels in our system. i think that was one fac

the money that you need toward all of this. and i'd like to get your take on the tax structure that is most favorable to getting people to be as generous as they can. what could you tell our viewers in terms of what government policy may be able to do to actually encourage more giving and how it can hurt? >> well, the tax deductibility of charitable giving certainly has been a positive factor in why the u.s. is the most generous. people give about 2% of their incomes and that's true it's not disproportionately the richest. across the board americans are quite generous. the estate tax which lets your charitable giving not be taxed is clearly a very positive encouragement to look at giving. i'd say that even more than the taxes, though, the fact that there's more examples of people where -- so everyone is asking themselves, you know, could i be giving you something, the fact that they hear the impact is very strong, i think the kind of social movement is even more, but the tax structure helps. >> what continuing investment is needed at this point? in other words who are the biggest stakeholde

of potentially getting out of the eurozone. today, he took a different tactic. we talked about not raising tax rates, but as corporations around the world both affecting issues in the uk and elsewhere are becoming a real issue. i want you to take a look at this piece. >> individuals and bess must pay their fair var. and businesses who think they can carry on, they can keep selling to the uk, and selling uk tax arrangements are for you to wake up and sell the company. >> that comment, by the way, about coffee is actually about starbucks which has created some problems because they've been avoiding taxes in the uk. but take a look at this quote right here. david cameron not making friends. labor mp dennis skinner says it was gruesome for the prime minister to be heading out of austerity-riddled britain to wine and dine at davos with 50 top bankser who helped create the economic crash several hundred tax avoiding milliona e millionaires. >> a lot of people talk today about a report. there was a report earlier this morning that mr. oh lund discovered averting. in total, the report was said to be

the increasing tax rates on very high income earners in the united states. ♪ a dancer for money >> reporter: but if the 73-year-old singer is making the move to cut her tax bill, she'll probably never admit it. the u.s. government warns americans, renunciation of u.s. citizenship may have no uh affect whatsoever on his or her u.s. tax obligations. she wouldn't be the first celebrity to change nationalities. actor jgerard depardieu got his passport after loudly renouncing france and its tax hikes on its wealthiest citizens. even elizabeth taylor made a bid to keep her european income away from the irs in 1965. >> i am the earth mother. and you are all flops. >> reporter: apparently couldn't go through with the renunciation oath. as for turner, whether she's making the move for love or money -- ♪ you don't have to worry >> reporter: it seems she'll have more of both in switzerland. and we reached out to turner's reps. but so far, no comment. turner speaks fluent german, has passed a local civic test and just needs a stamp of approval before becoming a swiss citizen. >> moving to a neutral c

for california after convincing voters to pass the tax initiative and erase billions from the budget deficit with help from a democratic supermajority elected to the legislature but republicans will pay close attention. >> i hope he talks how we build up jobs. he has been quiet on that. he certainly has taxed the high income earners again but what about getting the rest of us employed. >> the governor's speech from the chambers is expected to last half an hour. abc7 will carry the governor's state of the state address live from the state capital at 9:00 this morning and it will stream live on abc7news.com. >> later this morning, secretary of defense panetta will formally lit the ban on women serving in combat in the military. some men are concerned about the policy change. >> the u.s. military is about do become fully integrityied. panetta will announce an end to the ban on women serving in combat. >> they have proven time and time again. they will get the recognition that key. >> the move overturns a 1994 rule restricting women from being assigned to the front lines and elite combat divisio

be a start. >> unlikely plan will be to emphasize attacks -- a likely plan will be to emphasize the tax plan. wbal tv-11 news. >> thousands of anti-abortion activists marched on the steps of the supreme court. >> what they are demanding after the landmark roe versus wade decision keeping what some decision keeping what some charges >> covering the nation tonight, it has been 12 years since the disappearance upper intern chandra levy. there may be key testimony from a secret witness. this could possibly reopening mystery. it was back in 2010 when an illegal immigrant was convicted in her murder. that was after her relationship with a california congressman pegged him as a prime suspect. prosecutors admitted they had no evidence directly linking the immigrant tumor death. -- to her death. an appeals court throws out charges against casey anthony. today the court decided to throw out two of her convictions of lying to police. two charges were upheld, but anthony made appeal goes to the florida supreme court. you will remember she was tried and acquitted in the 2008 death of her two-year-old dau

and wondered whether there was selling for tax reasons and things of that nature and the people i have spoken to this morning, who do manage money, say the same. all right. let's watch it today. let it weed out and then perhaps revisit it in a few days. >> a couple of dividend. you talked about how that could help, maybe they actually go in and do a buy back of monstrous proportions. >> that could be around the corner. their next meeting, board meeting, is february, when they initiated the dividend f that's catalyst that's a catalyst. isn't it sad to think this was once the go go growth company and now looking the a possible dividend or buy back as the next catalyst for the shares? my how things have changed. >> that requires a management that thinks there's something wrong with the stock. requires a management to hit the stock, maybe they are, maybe they are not. >> buy back or a dividend, acknowledgments? >> so clear the stock was blowing up during the conference call. very clear, but the company was talking about good product, good product. >> companies don't want to acknowledge they are n

reforms, they're talking about tax reforms, as well. this will be a multi layered process and hopefully they'll be in power long enough to deliver some of those changes. i think the market was expecting for the bank of japan to come in .deliver everything that was going to solve all of japan's problems after decades of recession, then they were probably misguided. but for the moment, the reaction we're getting from people who were watching japan is they probably took as many steps as they could today to try and address this decision. >> kaori, stay with us. ed, welcome. you just heard a little bit of the back and forth. what's your own opinion here on what the boj has or hasn't delivered? >> good morning. thanks very much for having me on the show. my opinion is i completely agree with everything kaori said. even more than that, i would say to the viewing audience, look, this is the cramer moment for japan where you bring out the bells and the whistles and you toot the horn and you tweet and you pound the table and you run around the room saying buy, buy, buy. the framework is now in pl

in washington? the higher payroll taxes, and the general sense that the economy's not getting any better. is it? the answer's simple. why you may not think the overall economy is getting better, you're missing the big picture, partner. if you were to ask me to game the market using just one figure, one figure only, it wouldn't be what apple earns, the gross domestic product, the growth rate of earnings or the dividend yield of the s&p, it would be the weekly jobless claims. the weekly jobless claims is an indicator of future employment in this country. there's absolutely no coincidence that we had five-year highs today in the stock market. at the same time that unemployment claims hit five-year lows. it isn't fanciful that the market's roaring because jobs are being created at an accelerating pace. it's the most important determinant of the stock market. after all, the market got crushed when unemployment went above 5.5% and soared right into the great recession. i think these positive jobless numbers are occurring because of the certainty that comes from putting a presidential election and a t

calls balance and what the republicans call nonsense because it involves raising taxes. i think you have to do bovment i think you have to have more revenue and you have to cut back spending. >> susie: let's say congress doesn't do that. what happens next? explain to people what happens next. >> i think the real risk is that we come to a showdown in march when the current stopgap budget ends and we face the government shutdown. people will lose svices. pele wl lose jobs. and there will be a fiscal contraction, on top of the ones that we've already put in place. and that's not great for the economy, for sure. >> you know, and this whole conversation about a budget and the deficit and all of that. it's all about raising taxes and cutting spending. and there's no discuss about growth. and that is what americans really want. growth and jobs. what do we have to do to get growth? >> well, the badh6+suz there, susie s that while higher growth is by far the best remedy, it's very hard to put if into effect. in a sizableay. you need more investnt i human beings, that's education and so on. you ne

taxes passed. the budget looks a lot better. i think this was the governor's chance to pivot, to pivot to talking about what makes california great, how we get them back on track. don't worry, we're getting there. so i took this as a real optimistic speech with a lot of details, a lot of brown history facts. and really a message i think not only to the legislature but to the public of, like, i'm watching it. we're going to be careful, but we're going to move forward. >> and, john, you mentioned he was very quirky in his speech. clearly the governor is enjoying his popularity right now and quoted everyone from philosophers and poets. let's take a listen. >> i'm sorry, say again? >> the most diverse, creative and longest standing mass migration in the history of the world. that's california, and we are sons and daughters. this special destiny never ends. it slows. it falters. it goes off the track. and ignorance and prejudice but soon resumes again. more vibrant and more stunning in its boldness. >> so, john, how has the speech been received by lawmakers, both democrats and republicans?

expressing some political or religious expressions. most of the state tags that most of the tax status ban are vulgar and hateful as they fall in those categories? sound off on our kron4 facebook fan page so we could share them on the kron4 morning news. >> and woman waiting on the platform of madrid metro fainted and fell onto the tracks as the train approached. an off-duty police officers bring into action and jumped onto the tracks and dragged her to safety. passengers on the platform tried desperately to warn the driver and the train was able to stop in time. the woman made a full recovery! we will be right back. >> we are tracking hot spots in the traffic center fremont 84 southbound at thornton just passed a turnoff for the dumbarton bridge. a multi vehicle accident blocking more than one lane of traffic and really look at what it's doing to the drive time from a were down to fremont. from 92 to fremont boulevard 67 minutes. the conditions are actually worse than the censors would indicate because there is some wait- and-see here and it has not quite updated. it is read out there rig

there are rules to ensure competition and fair play. the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. revamp our tax code. reduce the cost of health care. medicare and medicaid and social security. they do not make us a nation of takers. the threat of climate change. sustainable energy sources. our forests and waterways, our crop lands and snow-capped peaks. seneca falls and selma and stonewall. earn a living equal to their efforts. our gay brothers and sisters welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants. the quiet lanes of newtown. >> joining me now, msnbc contributor jimmy williams and former rnc chairman and msnbc analyst michael still. gentlemen good to see you both. jimmy let me start witd you immediately. a lot of people criticized the president's speech. to be expected to some degree. did that sound like hey i won you lost. this is how it's going to be? >> i hate to break the news to people but that is exactly what happened. i went back this morning and looked at reagan's second inaugural and george bush jr.'s second inaugural. reagan talked about economics and the role of government. bush, terr

decisions, that set a more effective tax system, that reduced taxes going forward, we could have a booming environment. now, i may be wrong. that's my own personal belief. if we have a grand bargain, america would take off. it's important for america to get strong because the rest of the world needs us, to you know, because europe still has its issues and it will for a couple of years, so i think it's important that america kind of take the lead here, and i'm hoping our congress and our president that's what they do, and if they don't, jpmorgan will deal with it. it's not personal. it's about i want jobs. >> are you expecting a fight around the debt ceiling? do you think we'll have a disruption around this inability to compromise? >> i know nothing more than you other than what i read in the paper today and it seems like they are already starting to. could mice by pushing it out and asking for a budget which i think all seems rational and compromise by the way so i applaud them. >> what does your gut tell you about all the money moving into stocks recently? had a fantastic early 2013. do y

of the certainty that comes from putting a presidential election and a tax fight behind us. plus, the warring political parties seem to have -- it does seem like a truce at hand deferring a ridiculous and harmful government shutdown. throwing a huge turn in china that converts believers every day along with stabilization of europe and multinational companies have at last powered higher. all that good news in the jobs it creates are causing a radical revision in what we're willing to pay for future earnings. that's right, the price to earnings multiple, the ratio of how much we'll pay for the profits companies are going to have down the road is headed north and therefore so are the stock prices. we're willing to pay up because of the prospect that things are, indeed better. let me show you what i mean. let's take the transports. they've been scorching, scorching despite the index being home, beating down trucking companies, worldwide freight plays, and the railroads -- which were just annihilated by an historic decline in the most important cargo, coal. what's happening now if the economy's ge

per month. >> at least one per day. it's outrageous, us as tax paying citizens should not have to accept. >> these are the low level crimes that the police do not focus on. and exactly the types of crimes he will want police to crack down on when he begins a contract next month advising the department. in other cities, he has worked under the broken window theory. that says, if less serious crimes are not dealt with the overall crime rate will go up. at a city council meeting that ended after 2:00 in the morning the council voted 7-1 to approve a 250,000 contract to hire him. his opponents seem more concerned with the support of a stop and frisk policy. they feel it will lead to racial profiling. >> you are bringing in somebody very controversial. it's going to be an up hill battle. >> late this afternoon, the council's decision was defended to bring him on board. >> he is neither the devil, nor a savior, he is part of a team. >> this plan is not about him, it's about policy partnership. >> and the police chief went on to say that he will not be attending community meetings as

of opportunities. but both of those are outside the u.s. so we're assuming that the tax laws are not going to change. we're basically going to put our money to work in places like canada, the uk, israel, russia and asia where they're going to get a return and where we want it. >> that is a change and that starts spreading out, does that mean the rate of pick up in dividend payments and shares -- >> no, we committed to our shareholders 50% of our cash flow we will pay back on them, either in the form of dividends or share buybacks. but i think the key things to take away from davos is we're becoming the innovative leader and many of the concepts appear to be paying out very well for us. >> so what makes more sense for you right now, dividends, increase or a buyback? >> we're going to poll our shareholders. we've committed to giving you 50% back. >> thank you for join onning the program. >> we so appreciate it. >> thank you. now, look, we were going to talk about this but while we've got maria here, derek jeter, right? >> yes. he came to see me at dinner last night. i was talking about when

near fiscal consolidations in the united states. concerns about like the sequester, entitlement and tax reform. policy action must urgently address the risks in the u.s. the key imf forecast headline numbers, 2% growth for the u.s. in 2013, rising above trend in the second half of the year. the forecast for europe, that area revised downward. expected to contract by .2 of a percent in 2013, rather than expanding by a modest .1% back in the forecast in october. no downgrade of growth in japan, despite renewed recession there. forecasts still for 1.2% growth in 2013. and finally, the prescription for china, sustaining a rapid growth, progress on market oriented and structural forms there and more emphasis on private consumption inside china. back to you guys. >> hampton pearson, thank you. >>> google shares up sharply this morning after the company beat estimates in the earnings, setting a surge in ad sales profit. both gentlemen this morning have raised price targets on google. you raised your rating to $900 a share. the price target, that is. you've got a buy rating on the stock. in ter

. i think it's something us as tax paying citizens should not have. >> reporter: the broken window theory which says if less serious crimes are not dealt with the overall crime rate will increase. bratton's opponent seemed most concerned of his stop and frisk policy because they fear it will lead to racial profiling. >> you're bringing in somebody very controversial. >> this particular plan not about bill bratton. it's about partnership. >> reporter: i spoke by phone earlier today to bill bratton's wife and she tells me he is in detroit working on a project similar to the one he will be working on here in oakland and, again, raj and jessica, he will be here in oakland in mid-february. monte francis, nbc bay area news. >> okay, thank you, monte. look who is back in town. all the talk might be about the niners right now but the men in teal are back on the ice in san jose. the shortened home season will begin tomorrow. boy, not only shark fans but downtown owners, business owners, they really need this. >> reporter: yeah, you know, jessica, the city is really hoping this brings some l

rafael scoreboard is asking voters to renew their parcel tax. if they go forward with the proposal tomorrow, voters will vote in a special mail-in election come this spring. it would extend a $194 parcel tax that has helped fund schools since 1989. >>> coming up, pipeline safety, how a new piece of high-tech equipment is keeping gas pipelines safe for you and your family. >>> and we have a live look from our roof cam looking over a bay bridge. it should be a beautiful but cool day. meet lisa >> we are taking a live look outside right now in santa clara just across the street at the practice facility for the 49ers. they will be leaving this afternoon super bowl-bound for new orleans. it should be a beautiful day to bid them farewell. a little cool but sunny. meteorologist lisa argen will have your forecast in a little bit. 6:how on the dot right now. >>> a new pipeline scanner could take the guesswork out of determining which natural gas lines are safe. pg&e is testing it right now. it's part of the utility's ongoing effort to improve their safety programs ever since the 2010 deadly

democrats view a budget vote as an opportunity to raise more money through taxes. >> it's going to be a great opportunity. in our budget that we will pass we'll have tax reform, which many colleagues like but it will include revenues. >> reporter: the house is expected to approve the debt limit increase tomorrow. susan mcginnis, cbs news, washington. >>> today is the 40th anniversary of the supreme court ruling that legalized abortion. in 1973 the roe v. wade decision said a woman has the right to abort a pregnancy setting off a national debate. today a pro choice group will hold a rally and walk in los altos, a demonstration against female enslavement at city hall in san francisco. >> three americans were killed in the algeria, seven others made it out alive. the militants offered to release two of the americans who died in exchange for the freedom of two prominent terror suspects behind bars in the u.s. the obama administration rejected that offer. >>> at least one person is dead from an earthquake that hit western indonesia this morning, i
